Cycle Schemes

Cycle to Work is a government scheme, aimed at making cycling more affordable and accessible for both commuters and leisure riders. Any less car on the road and a fitter population benefits society immensely, I’m sure you’d agree!!

It's a simple three-step process, which will help you save up to 42% on a brand new bike, cycling accessories or a combination of the two! You can take advantage of this scheme in any of our stores, or online if you’re not so local.

Savings are made because your employer is buying the bike on your behalf, saving the VAT in the process, and then off sets the remaining value against your personal tax contributions.

"Save up to 42%!"

We also contribute 10% so there is a cost to the dealer, which is why vouchers can sometimes not be used upon sale bikes. This amount is split into 12 interest free monthly payments, so the maximum you’ll be paying (should you use the full £1000 voucher entitlement) will be no more than £55 a month – how easy is that to get you on the road?

Further information can be found on CycleScheme’s consumer site, please click HERE.

All our stores are affiliated with the following nationwide schemes and accept vouchers from the following partners.

We accept vouchers from:

Cycle Scheme

Clycle Plus (P&MM Ltd)

Bike 2 Workshop

Halfords Cycle to Work

IP Plus Plc

On Your Bike (C2W)

NHS

Evans Cycle to Work

East of England Ambulance Trust

It's important to first check that your employer is signed up to any of the above before following these simple steps:

Step 1 – Choose your Bike and/or Equipment In Store or Online. Once you have done this we simply create a quote for you and request a small deposit against the order that allows us to either allocate the stock or place an order with our suppliers. Don’t worry, you’ll get it back. This way, your items are waiting for you when you want to collect them and we avoid any availability issues.

Step 2 – Request your Cycle to Work Voucher from your Employer. It’s often the HR dept within your employer that is responsible for processing the order, so simply hand the quote to them and wait for the chosen provider to issue your voucher.

Step 3 – Call the store to redeem your vouchers. Different schemes run different policies, so once you have your voucher in hand simply call the store you reserved the bike and/or equipment with, and we will make sure your order is ready and talk you through the quickest steps to receive your new bicycle and equipment.

If you’re a UK employee, Cycle to Work allows you to spread the cost of a new bike and equipment (maximum £1000 in total), by paying in instalments taken directly from your wage. The payments are taken out of your gross wage and your Tax & NI contributions are then worked out based on your new lower gross wage, saving you money on your new bike and equipment.

You’ll enter into a hire agreement with your employer, who owns the bike for the period of the agreement. At the end of this period, you then have the option of buying your bike or continuing to use it while you work for the company. If you decide to purchase the bike, the balance you owe will be based on a percentage of how much the bike was worth at the time you took out the Cycle to Work scheme.

With the Cycle to Work scheme you can get a maximum of £1000 of vouchers to spend on:

Any adult bikes (maximum of 2 bikes)

Cycle helmets

Bells and bulb horns

Lights including dynamo packs

Mirrors and mudguards

Cycle clips and dress guards

Panniers, luggage carriers and straps to allow luggage to be safely carried

This means you don’t actually have to use your voucher to buy a bike, you can use the scheme just on accessory upgrades for your current bike, like a faster set of wheels or a digital gear set up.

With our stores, you’re quite welcome to top up above the value of your voucher, so don’t worry, you’re not restricted in any way. For example, if your dream ride is £1500, simply pay the cash difference or finance the balance.

PLEASE NOTE: Sale Bikes will incur an added 10% fee on top the price advertised on the website and a delivery fee of £15.00.

Please don't let this put you off, there are still fantastic savings to be taken advantage of on sale bikes when using Cyclescheme or a Cycle to work voucher.

Electric bikes are an increasingly popular option for commuting; they're easy to ride, green and cheap to run. Most e-bikes come in at over £1000 [the current limit for most Cycle to Work applications]; however, we've partnered with a specialist e-bike Cycle to Work provider - Green Commute Initiative. The Green Commute Initiative scheme doesn't have this £1000 limit, so it covers the often higher price of electric bikes. Although the scheme is pitched at electric bikes, mechanical bikes are also available through the scheme, so it's ideal whether you're after your dream mechanical bike or an awesome electric bike.
